What is the main idea behind pyrolysis?

Chemistry

The process of thermal decomposition of organic materials (carbon based materials) at very high temperature and absence of oxygen is known as pyrolysis.

The temperature for such process is generally 430 °C or 800 °F. This causes simultaneous change in physical phase and chemical composition of the organic material. The process is irreversible in nature.

The resultant products mostly have more useful properties than the original one. Thus, to bring the greater value to the common organic material and waste, the idea of pyrolysis is important.

A reaction mechanism must ultimately be understood as a "blow-by-blow" description of the molecular-level events whose sequence leads from reactants to products. These elementary steps (also called elementary reactions) are almost always very simple ones involving one, two, or [rarely] three chemical species which are classified

It is common knowledge that chemical reactions occur more rapidly at higher temperatures. Everyone knows that milk turns sour much more rapidly if stored at room temperature rather than in a refrigerator, butter goes rancid more quickly in the summer than in the winter, and eggs hard-boil more quickly at sea level than in the mountains. For the same reason, cold-blooded animals such as reptiles and insects tend to be noticeably more lethargic on cold days.

Thermal energy relates direction to motion at the molecular level. As the temperature rises, molecules move faster and collide more vigorously, greatly increasing the likelihood of bond cleavages and rearrangements as described above.

A sample of an ideal gas has a mass of 0.311 grams. its volume is 0.225 l at a temperature of 55oc and a pressure of 1.166 atm.
BabaBlast [244]
Use pv=nrT


where p is the pressure,
v is the volume,
n is the number of mole (which can be equal to mass /mr),
T is the temperature in kelvin,
and r is (molar constant) = 8.31 (units)

Given the reaction: solid sodium reacts with chlorine gas to form solid sodium chloride How many moles of the product result fro
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

number of moles of NaCl produce = 12 mol

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to write the chemical equation of the reaction and balance it .

Na(s) + Cl2(g) → NaCl(s)

The balanced equation is as follows:

2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s)

1 mole(71 g) of chlorine produces 2 moles(117  g) of sodium chloride

6 mole of chlorine gas will produce ? mole of sodium chloride

cross multiply

number of moles of NaCl produce = 6 × 2

number of moles of NaCl produce = 12 moles

number of moles of NaCl produce = 12 mol

The iodine "clock reaction" involves the following sequence of reactions occurring in a reaction mixture in a single beaker. 1.
Mars2501 [29]

C: 0.012 mol.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Start with 0.0020 moles of iodate ions {\text{IO}_{3}}^{-}.

How many moles of iodine \text{I}_2 will be produced?

{\text{IO}_{3}}^{-} converts to \text{I}_2 in the first reaction. The coefficient in front of \text{I}_2 is three times the coefficient in front of {\text{IO}_{3}}^{-}. In other words, each mole of {\text{IO}_{3}}^{-} will produce three moles of \text{I}_2. 0.0020 moles of {\text{IO}_{3}}^{-} will convert to 0.0060 moles of \text{I}_2.

How many moles of thiosulfate ions {\text{S}_2\text{O}_3}^{2-} are required?

\text{I}_2 reacts with {\text{S}_2\text{O}_3}^{2-} in the second reaction. The coefficient in front of \text{I}_2 is twice the coefficient in front of {\text{S}_2\text{O}_3}^{2-}. How many moles of {\text{S}_2\text{O}_3}^{2-} does each mole of \text{I}_2 consume? Two. 0.0060 moles of \text{I}_2 will be produced. As a result, 2 \times 0.0060 = 0.0120 moles of {\text{S}_2\text{O}_3}^{2-} will be needed.
